Skill instructions
ASP.NET MVC Session and State Migration Overview Migrate session state, TempData, and application-level state from ASP.NET Framework to ASP.NET Core. ASP.NET Core has no in-process session by default — session requires explicit opt-in via AddSession() plus a distributed cache provider. Getting this wrong causes silent data loss at scale or on app restart. Adapter overlay: If the aspnet-system-web-adapters skill is loaded, its guidance takes precedence for HttpSessionState replacement during scaffold and migrate phases — the adapter provides a session shim that defers full migration. TempData and Application State are not covered by adapters; migrate them directly using this skill. Related skill: migrating-global-asax covers SessionStart/SessionEnd event migration to session middleware registration. Workflow Track progress across these steps: Migration Progress: - [ ] Step 1: Audit state usage across project - [ ] Step 2: Register session services and middleware - [ ] Step 3: Migrate Ht
